savannah, good evening. >> reporter: brian, good evening. there is a vigorous debate raging within the administration over whether to arm the opposition. that's one reason cia operatives are on the ground, to learn more about these rebels and where their allegiances lie. meanwhile, on capitol hill, the defense secretary and chairman of the joint chiefs were grilled today by lawmakers. some hammered the administration for not simply taking out gadhafi. others said the u.s. had handed over command at the very moment the rebels needed help the most. and as for this issue of arming the opposition, u.s. officials say it's not as easy as it sounds. it's not a matter of just air dropping weapons in. you'd have to train them. you'd need some sort of staging area to train those rebels and that comes very close to the president's bright line of no u.s. ground troops in libya, something the defense secretary echoed today. >> do you know if there's any time in the future that there are going to be boots on the ground in libya? >> not as long as i'm in t
